codeXplode is first, a place for hosting repositories. Without a good project to develop, it's hard to test all of codeXplode's functionality. So I've been thinking about what project I would like to work on. The project I've finally decided on is a web crawler.
First, though, what is a web crawler? It's a piece of software, usually used by search engines such as Google but are sometimes used as a standalone alternative to the big web based search engines.
Mine, though, will be aimed at pulling code. It's priority will be to find snippets of code, break them down, and index them in such a way that will allow for code to be easily searchable. This will ultimately be built into the codeXplode feature set at some point. It will allow for users to search for certain functions, instead of having to search for a specific file or project.
Hence, the project's name will be Code Crawler. I will post a link to the codeXplode page for the project once it is created.
